Subject: Question about using REMSH on 7.5


Hello  Listers,

I've been trying to get REMSH working from the shell to a Sun Blade in
order to control the split/establish of SRDF volumes on 2 EMC Symmetrix
(8530 and 3830) and have had difficulty getting it to work as
advertised.  If anyone has had any experience with this would you mind
sharing your tips for success?

The symptom I get is "permission denied", which does not explain
anything really.  We're able to rsh from an HP-UX to this box as that
user and execute the scripts just fine.  I've ordered the patch to
repair the CI REMSH command that was broken by a previous patch, but
according to the documentation that should not prevent proper execution
from the shell.

There are two files you can use to allow access on the unix side and the
documentation says you need one or the other.  (One is a .rhosts in the
user path and the other is /etc/hosts.equiv).  They are populated
according to instructions. 

HPRC has only found issues with the patch and CI, and I'm expecting that
new patch any time now.  They say the shell command should work.

Thank you in advance!
